It’s rare in the history of the St. Louis Blues that May 16th is a date of consequence, and yet today major events unfolded that had nothing to do with Steve Yzerman.
Assistant coaches Ray Bennett, Steve Thomas, and Rick Wilson, along with goalie coordinator Ty Conklin, were let go by the organization. In addition, the expansion Vegas Golden Knights announced an affiliation with the AHL Chicago Wolves that effectively ends the same agreement with the Blues.
The move means that Vegas will have control over the operations and, notably, the coaching staff of the Wolves.
